PersistentVolume Claim



1 Developer requests a persistent volume through a persistent volume claim

2 Persistent volume claim request is sent to the HyperFlex Provisioner (pod running in Kubernetes) via the StorageClass parameters

HyperFlex Provisioner makes call to HyperFlex API to provision backend iSCSI LUN for request

Software iSCSI initiator on each Kubernetes node VM discovers new iSCSI block device from HyperFlex cluster

HyperFlex Plugin orchestrates the mounting of the new iSCSI block device and the creation of a Kubernetes persistent volume

Kubernetes binds the newly created persistent volume to the persistent volume claim
